✉️ Canada Post Workers: Defending public services
Postal workers are on rotating strikes to stop Canada Post’s plan to cut home delivery, close rural post offices, and replace good union jobs with unstable contracts.
While the Federal government tries to sell its “reform” as necessary for Canada Post’s survival, we know the real solution is investing in public services, not privatizing them. We also know that Canada Post’s future depends on keeping it public, accessible, and fair.
Standing with postal workers means defending a public service that serves people, not profit.

🎓 College workers: Standing up for fairness
College staff across Ontario are calling for respect and job security. They are pushing back against precarious short-term contracts that hurt both staff and students.
College staff are being told to “do more with less,” as the Ontario government frames their demands as unrealistic. But we know what’s needed is meaningful investments in public education. The future of our colleges depends on treating staff as essential, not expendable.
Supporting college workers means fighting for classrooms and communities built on respect, not endless cuts.

🗓️ Toronto Decent Work Organizing Meeting
After our Organizing for Power assembly in Toronto, the energy to keep organizing is stronger than ever. We left the Assembly with a clear message: When we come together across sectors, workers have the power to win real change.
Our next in-person organizing meeting in Toronto is Tuesday, October 21 at 6:00 PM. We’ll connect with other workers, share updates from strikes, take action against wage theft, and plan the next steps for building power in our communities.
Will you join us?
We are in the same fight for decent work across Ontario. What’s happening to postal, college, and low-wage workers is all connected. When a group of workers stands up, it raises the floor for all of us. That’s what solidarity means.
